Dearest friends...I had a recheck at my vet yesterday for my kidney values

They actually were about the same; however, I had kind of a bad weekend with

big tummy distress (in both ways). So my vet rubbed all over my tummy and

actually felt that my intestines appeared to be a bit swollen. There are many

things that could cause this but we are HOPING it is just from all my distress over the weekend.

Another big concern is I have lost some more weight...YIKES. In February at my senior check up I was a tad over 9 lbs. Yesterday I was 6.5 lbs. I have not stopped eating one bit..even with my

tummy distress. Mom says she can handle the kidney stuff if we can just get the intestines

back to normal size and get some weight on me.

My wonderful vet gave me an antibiotic shot Monday (I've had tummy issues before kinda like IBD and the antibiotic solved it) and he gave me a nausea shot. Mom is supposed to call him tomorrow to let him know how my night went. If things go well he would like to give me a cortisone shot on

Thursday to help the intestinal inflammation. Cortisone is not good for kidneys but as mom says we have to pick our battles. Getting old is not for sissies but my peeps and I are really gonna

try to nip this mess in the bud and most of all we would greatly appreciate

some POTP. I'm not laying around doing nuttin, but I'm not 100% either

We truly thank you all from the bottom of our hearts

Hugs two seniors Madi and Mom

Madi my sweet friend you know I'm POTP'ing like crazy for you.....you are a fighter and so brave and I know that you'll feel better if you get rid of your tummy problems. Your Mom and Dad love you to bits just like all of us do so FEEL BETTER SOON OK? Promise???? Good!

Dearest Madi! you know how much we love you and your peeps. We've got our most powerful POTP going for you. Hope you had a better night sweetheart and the meds will get your innards feeling better. hugs and loveHazel, Mabel & Mom

I am praying now those antibiotics will go directly to your problem and help you Madi... even though you eat, the going from both ends makes weight loss. it does that to me also... love you and your mom

Oh Madi, we are thinking of you and hoping all improves very quickly! Hopefully it was just some bad fish this weekend that made your intestines get all unhappy, and you'll be back to normal super soon. Paws crossed!

We have our paws crossed tight and are sending you all the POTP we can muster. We're sorry we haven't been around much but our mom ran off to her nieces wedding this past weekend. We sure hope the meds help you feel better soon.

Oh Madi girl, what is going on?? We are so very sorry to hear you are not feeling well at all. You know we got you covered in good thoughts and prayers. We know how very worried your Mom is too. We are sending her BIG Doxie hugs and licks. We sure hope the med's get this all under control for you. Sending you sunshine from Florida for good healing.

Purrs and prayera to you dear Madi, we love you. For what it's worth, Sister Precious has lost half her weight over the last year and a half. She eats lots. All her bloodword is okay, xrays too, our Vet says it is just her age not being kind. She is 14 too.

We're so sorry you're not feeling good, Madi. There was a period where Kitty wasn't eating - the vet told me I'd have to force feed her - but I tried a few treats as a last ditch effort ... and VOILA! Before I knew it, the bag was gone. Not exactly healthy ... and not something the vet would recommend on a regular basis ... but eating a little bit made her feel good enough to start eating other things. Please know we're thinking of you and praying for you, Madi, BFF :)

After yesterday's health update, we are elated to hear that there was some signs of improvement overnight. We sure hope the antibiotics do the trick and you get better. Mom says she would love to drop a few pounds, but we do understand that in this case it is not for a good reason. Keep eating, Madi, and feel better. You know you have all the POTP we can muster and lots of good prayers from Mom.

Madi, we think you might have better luck if those fishies couldn't see your grille! On another note, you need to eat some more and put on a few pounds. Just follow mom's diet plan and you will gain a few pounds in no time! Seriously, crossing our paws for you to get healthier!

Don't be "koi" cracked us up! We are sending our best healing prayers and thoughts to you. I'd love for you to speak with Dr. Harvey to see if he thinks his Veg-to-Bowl or Oracle for cats might help. you can speak to him directly at 1-866-Doc H-123. He is very nice and super helpful.

I hopes you got my short email last night ~ Ma doesn't type well on the tiny iphone (she can type super duper fast on the keyboard, and it makes her KERAZY to try and type out stuffs on her phone! anyhu....) I am sendin' lots and lots and lots and lots of POTP and healin' vibes and some of my extra fat til you can make some of your own..heheheBUTTS you gots FISHES! OMD/OMC!

C'mon Madi...you are a strong-willed lady and can get along good, we just have to try. Some days are completely snotty...believe me I know but the good days make the yucky days seem worth the struggle.

Oh gosh, we have been on vacation and missed all this! I'm so sorry you are having tummy troubles and intestinal swelling. All our paws (and we have bunch of paws in this house) are crossed for you. We agree with your mom about picking your battles - sometimes that's the best approach.

Please keep us posted. Sending all kinds of love and support your way!

Please leave a meow or bark for Madi...her assistant (aka Mom) will respond in a timely fashion. =^..^=Life is short, spend it with those who make you laughTONS OF HUGS MADI AND MomEmail: candb214@att.net
